Read all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool
on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance
with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.

Extreme care should be taken when removing paint. The peelings, residue, and vapors of paint may contain lead, which is poisonous. Exposure to even low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain and nervous system damage. Young and unborn children are particularly vulnerable.
Before beginning any paint removal process you should determine whether the paint you are removing contains lead. This can be done by your local health department or by a professional who uses a paint analyzer to check for lead.
Lead-based paint should only be removed by a professional.
Persons removing paint should follow these guidelines:
1. Keep the work area well ventilated. Open the windows and put an exhaust fan in one of them. Be sure the fan is moving air from inside to outside.
2. Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture, clothing, cooking utensils, and air ducts. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
exposure.
3. Place drop cloths in the work area to catch any paint chips or peelings. Wear protective clothing such as extra work shirts, overalls and hats.
Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of exposure.
4. Work in one room at a time. Furnishings should be removed or placed in the center of the room and covered. Work areas should be sealed off from the rest of the dwelling by sealing doorways with drop cloths.
5. Children, pregnant, or potentially pregnant women and nursing mothers should not be present in the work area until the work is done and all cleanup is complete. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
injury.
6. Wear a dust respirator or a dual filter (dust and fume) respirator mask which has been approved by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the National Institute of Safety and Health (NIOSH), or the United States Bureau of Mines. These masks and replaceable filters are
readily available at major hardware stores. Be sure the mask fits. Beards and facial hair may keep the masks from sealing properly. Change filters often. DISPOSABLE PAPER MASKS ARE NOT ADEQUATE.
7. Keep food and drink out of the work area. Wash hands, arms, and face and rinse mouth before eating or drinking. Do not smoke or chew gum or tobacco in the work area.
8. Clean up all removed paint and dust by wet mopping the floors. Use a wet cloth to clean all walls, sills and any other surfaces where paint or dust is clinging. DO NOT SWEEP, DRY DUST OR VACUUM. Use a high phosphate detergent or trisodium (TSP) to wash and mop areas.
9. At the end of each work session, put the paint chips and debris in a double plastic bag, close it with tape or twist ties and dispose properly.
Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of exposure.
10. Remove protective clothing and work shoes in the work area to avoid carrying dust into the rest of the dwelling. Wash work clothes separately. Wipe
shoes off with a wet rag, then wash that rag with the work clothes. Wash hair and body thoroughly with soap and water.

SELECTING THE ABRASIVE
The best finishes can be achieved by selecting the proper type of abrasive. coarser grit abrasives will remove the most material while finer grit abrasives will produce the best finishes.
Achieve best results by selecting the proper size and type of abrasives. Start the work with an abrasive grit just coarse enough to remove high spots and excessive roughness. Follow with a second sanding using a grit one or two grades finer. Continue using successively finer grits until the desired finish is obtained.
ATTACHING PAD OR PROFILE MOUNTING PLATE
All of the accessory pads and profile mounting plates are attached to the tool in the same way. Each pad or mounting plate has two posts (A) Fig. 7 used to attach it to the Profile Sander.
One pad post fits into a pocket (B) Fig. 7 in the tool, and the other post is locked into place by a tab (C) Fig. 7. The mounting post area (of all the pads and mounting plates) is symmetrical. The pad (or mounting plate) can be attached to the Profile Sander with either end forward, which allows the use of both pointed ends of each sheet of pad abrasive, and permits the profile holders to be mounted in the best position for each particular application.
To attach a pad or mounting plate to the Profile Sander:
1. DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
2. Position one of the pad (or mounting plate) posts (A) Fig. 7 into the pocket (B) Fig. 7 of the Profile Sander (Fig. 8).
3. Depress latch button (D) Fig. 9, seat pad to sander, and release latch button to secure the pad in place (Fig. 10).
4. To remove pad (or mounting plate), depress latch button (D) Fig. 9, and pull pad away from sander.

ATTACHING PROFILE TO MOUNTING PLATE
Individual profiles may be mounted to either the Single Profile Mounting Plate, or the Angled Profile Mounting Plate (Figs. 11 and 12). The individual profiles are pressed into the slot on the mounting plate by hand, and can be removed from the mounting plate by pulling outward on one end of the profile.
ATTACHING ABRASIVES
Three different types of abrasives that can be used with the Profile Sander are:
HOOK & LOOP SHEETS: These are precut sheets with hook & loop backing and dust extraction holes. This abrasive is used with the diamond shaped Hook & Loop Pad. Align the abrasive with the sander pad and press into place with the palm of your hand. Use a light twisting motion to lock the hooks into the loops. To remove abrasive, lift one corner with your fingernail and peel it off. These abrasives may be removed and reattached several times.
PSA SHEETS: These are precut sheets with pressure sensitive adhesive. Precut diamond shaped sheets are available to fit the optional diamond shaped PSA Pad. Precut rectangular sheets are available to fit all of the individual profiles. Peel the protective sheet from the back of the abrasive. Align the abrasive with the sander pad and press firmly into place. To remove abrasive, lift one corner with your fingernail and peel it off. Discard the used abrasive.
PSA ROLLS: These are 2
1
/2" wide rolls with pressure sensitive adhesive. This
abrasive is used with the individual profiles and with the extended “shutter” pad. Unroll a strip of abrasive to fit the particular profile (or pad), and cut to length with scissors. NOTE: For best results, the abrasive should cover all of the exposed profile below the profile holder. Firmly press the abrasive in place on the profile (or pad). To remove abrasive, lift one corner with your fingernail and peel it off. Discard the used abrasive.
NOTE: PSA Pads and Profiles must be clean for the abrasives to adhere properly. Clean the pads and profiles with soap and water.
PSA Adhesives work best at temperatures above 25° F. If PSA abrasives, pads, or profiles are stored at lower temperatures, warm them before use.
Store PSA Pads in a dust-free environment to prevent contamination of the adhesive.

ATTACHING OPTIONAL DUST WAND
NOTE: A wide variety of accessories, including a dust wand, is available for
this tool. Please refer to your Porter-Cable Catalog to determine if the dust wand is supplied as standard equipment with your particular tool package. The dust wand is available as an accessory, and may be used with any Porter-Cable Model 444 Profile Sander.
The dust wand requires an external vacuum source (shop vac or dust collection system). To attach dust wand to sander:
1. Insert dust wand pin (A) Fig. 13 into hole (B) Fig. 13.
2. Thread knob (C) Fig. 14 into tool, and tighten firmly.
3. Connect the dust wand to your vacuum source with a 1" vacuum hose.
TO START AND STOP SANDER
The tool is equipped with a “rocker” type switch (A) Fig. 15 labeled “ON” and “OFF”.
1. Depress “OFF”. Check to see that the power circuit voltage is the same as that shown on the specification plate.
2. Connect Sander to power circuit.
3. While holding Sander firmly, and off the work surface, depress “ON”.
4. When you are finished sanding, lift the tool off the work and depress “OFF” to stop the tool.
SPEED CONTROL (444VS only)
Model 444VS is equipped with a variable speed control. Operating speed is adjustable between 2100 SPM (Strokes Per Minute) and 6000 SPM.
Speed is adjustable by turning thumbwheel (B) Fig. 15A. Thumbwheel position #1 provides the slowest operating speed (2100 SPM) and position #6 the fastest (6000 SPM). Speed may be changed while motor is running or while stopped.

USING THE SANDER
The Porter-Cable Profile Sander has been designed for one-hand operation (Fig. 16). The sander can be easily guided over the work surface with one hand. The normal weight of the machine is sufficient for efficient sanding. Additional pressure on the tool will slow down the speed of the pad, reduce the sanding efficiency, and put an additional burden on the motor.
The Profile Sander uses an “in-line” sanding motion. To achieve the best surface finish, sand “in-line” with the wood grain. Faster removal rates can be achieved by operating the sander across the grain while working out rough areas, and then finishing by sanding with the grain.
FINE FINISHING
The action of the tool causes thousands of tiny abrasive grits to move against the work at high speed. Each grain moves in the same direction and at a constant speed, causing the cutting action to be uniform over the entire pad surface. Start the work with an abrasive grit just coarse enough to remove the high spots and excessive roughness.
Follow with a second sanding using a grit one or two grades finer. Continue with successively finer grits until the desired finish is obtained. DO NOT GO FROM A COARSE GRIT TO A VERY FINE GRIT IN ONE STEP.

REMOVING PAINT AND VARNISH
Read and follow all instructions in the
“ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR PAINT REMOVAL”
section of this manual.
To remove old paint and varnish:
1. Use a coarse, open coat abrasive to avoid the usual clogging of the abrasive surfaces.
2. Keep the machine moving over new areas to avoid heating and softening the material being removed.
Try to work the entire surface at the same time by working in wide, over­lapping arcs. Do not concentrate on small areas. When using liquid removers or heaters to speed the work, scrape away all excess paint or varnish with a putty knife or other suitable scraping tool, and allow the wood to be cool and dry before sanding.
DOORS AND MOLDINGS
The “in-line” motion of the Profile Sander is ideally suited for use in the recessed corners and on the intricate profiles found on moldings and raised­panel doors. The diamond shaped pads make sanding the recessed corners easy, while the wide variety of available sanding profiles allow you to exactly match each detail of intricate molding configurations.
